Crash testing now includes side crashes too. 3 Dummies' heads hitting each other probably indicates brain damage would result if 3 people get hit.
I think they only put 2 dummies in the back seat though
Orange is my favorite color and would have ordered it in 2021 but we didn't want to spend $500 on paint. So my wife and I ranked all the "free" colors and grey was at the top of both our lists. (White and black look dirty too easy)
We are getting older with no kids in the house. We drive our Maverick 6-7 days per week but have only had people in the backset about 10 days in 2.5 years.

I easily get 3-5mpg better MPG than my wife driving the same routes.
-heat and A/C make the ICE work more.
-accelerate moderate hard then "coast" to go to electric mode for a few miles. (Accelerating gentle upon a green light like in regular cars actually uses all the battery up then you can't...
I worked at McDonald's in Evanston WY (on I-80, 3 miles from Utah) when I was young. The next McDonald's east or west are 70miles. South it's hundreds of miles? North it's at least 100miles.
It cracked me up hearing "old people" tell other "old people" to make sure to get gas every town they...
